Nikki & The Corvettes
Dangerously fun bubble gum punk with hooks that’ll stick in your head for weeks.

Hard Copy (LP)
VR Sex
A substance-induced synth punk Odyssey through the darkest corners of Los Angeles. It’s psychedelic; it's electronic; it's atmospheric; it's dystopian. This type of Orwellian punk is the perfect backing for the strange, off-kilter, bleak city stories told throughout the tracklist.

What Happened to the Heart? (LP)
AURORA
Cathartic, soaring. I only recently got into AURORA, but her music has captured this heart.

Disposable Everything (LP)
AJJ
AJJ's folk-punk sensibilities take a turn for the more accessible (at least in the sense of production quality), but their lyrics remain just as honest and incisive as ever. If you're ever at an AJJ show, feel free to say hi -- you can usually find me in the pit.

The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (LP)
Chappell Roan
What kind of sapphic would I be if I didn't include this? The recent popularity of this debut album from everyone's favorite lesbian drag queen feels like a triumph in today's political climate, and you'll never catch me not singing along.

One of my new favorite bands signed to one of my favorite labels, Dais Records. Hazy and beautiful stuff from these guys. Excited to see where they are headed.

Heavier than ever. So psyched they are back. This new stuff made me revisit all of the old albums and it all still sounds amazing. There's no one like Yow.

Any time Actress puts something out, I take note. One of the coolest and provocative electronic artist of the last 15 years. Check out all of his stuff for sure. "AZD" from 2017 is one of my favs.

Awesome Mid 90's Techno-Ambient-Break-Sample stuff from FSOL. I missed this one the first time around... been playing this a lot lately.

Trish Keenan 4EVA. It's truly special for us to be able to listen in on these demos. Broadcast was perfect.

Gris Gris (LP)
Dr. John
It's the hour of the wolf. The wind is rapping at your door. Dr. John, the Night Tripper, spins on your record player, with his liquor-guzzling voice-can you imagine the stench?! He's a warlock DJ'ing his set straight from the underworld. The voodoo drums start pounding. Or is it your heart beating? Something wicked this way comes. By the crack of dawn, you're gone, kinda like the dust, taken by whatever omen that was conjured up. You shouldn't have played his record, but you did.

Of Rivers and Religion (LP)
John Fahey
You wanna talk about Americana, this one hijacks the definition, lifting the swamp fog as you crawl through murky waters on a raft, catching clearing visions of a prehistoric USA.

Dusty in Memphis (LP)
Dusty Springfield
It's 8 a.m. and you step out of the bathroom, fixing your earring. He isn't even fully dressed yet! Sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands on his face. He's bawling, not knowing how he's gonna tell his wife he's leaving her. And what about the kids?! Little Timmy's soccer practice. Who's gonna drive him now?
You hug him, patting him on the back while you check the time on your wristwatch, palm up. You're gonna be late for the hairdresser's, thinking you should dump him. You should. Cue the next track.

Siembra (LP)
Willie Colón and Ruben Blades
Piercing lyrics as Papá sits you on his lap and talks to you about the birds and the bees and guayabas and gente plástica and no-no good Pedro Navaja and Latin American culture encapsulated. Whether you're Mexican, Colombiano, from Puerto Rico, or simply a curious tourist traversing, you get your crash course lesson, and you get it fast.

4K + Blu-Ray (BLU)
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
It's a ballad with stanzas, out of folk tradition. By the time Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" steps in, your heart's on the floor, down a raft of tears.

Blu-Ray (BLU)
Drive a Crooked Road
Mickey Rooney gets so cuckold, you're in physical pain witnessing his mythic humiliation. But that's film noir for ya! Fate sticks its foot out and down you go.

Visions (LP)
Norah Jones
This album is very relaxing and perfect for a dinner party. Her voice is like silk with a slight roughness to it.

Duality (LP)
Lindsey Stirling
This album is proof of what happens when the Energizer bunny and a rock violinist converge.

Morning View XXIII (LP)
Incubus
If you liked the original version of Morning View you'll love this version of it. The core of the songs are still the same but they added a lot to make it a fuller sound.

Collective (CD)
Kim Gordon
The result of mixing no wave with trap beats. On paper, it shouldn't work... and yet Kim Gordon managed to pull it off! This is easily one of the most unique sounding albums I've heard in quite some time which is something I don’t get to say that often! I’m completely obsessed.
